I remembered that last Raya 06, we went to Mak Som's house and we took a lot of pictures. My bro even captured a video scene between Mak Som and My Mummy gossiping away. We never did that before. Never at her house but who's to know that THAT was the last time for all of us. And during the months before she was bed ridden, she would always ask me - "Nurul bile nak kawin ni?? Cepat la kawin, nanti Mak Som tak sempat nak nengok tau." Not once, not twice, but she would say that everytime we met and guess she've already had the feeling she'll be leaving us soon. I have yet to introduce my Munchkin to Mak Som :( I'm sure she would definetly love Munchkin and she would hv tease him a lot as she likes to joke around. She refers to me as Orang Johor. So imagine, if come during Raya, she would call out loud, "Haaaa, here's our Orang Johor dah sampai." I would normally keep my head low n be embarass when she does that - everyone will be looking around for the 'Orang Johor' . I will miss that a lotttt now :(

Another famous trait of Mak Som is that she's a very caring person. She cares more about ppl around her than she cares about herself. I would always remember that once, when my parents was away for Umrah. She would call me everyday to find out my condition. That time i was studying in uni and we just lost my late brother Rizal. Off all my aunties, shes the only one who understands that we were mourning that time and I was really sad because my parents were not around and yet, she made the effort to call tiredlessly everyday and i will always cherish that Mak Som.

This posting is dedicated to you Mak Som. May u rest in peace, in the Garden of Eden. I know u'll be very happy there. InsyAllah. Amin.
